Last Shot of Friday the 13th

Took this shot seconds before my camera would decide to die on me in the middle of the second period. It's like it was giving up the ghost and as doing so gave me one final gem.

After nearly having a heart attack and bawling my eyes out, I was granted a loaner for the next two weeks while my camera is in for potential repair....because this is the week I have the World Cup of Long Track, five professional hockey games, a promotional event to cover, the Sundance Film Festival to shoot, and an NHL-related event. So it's like....SERIOUSLY?!!! My camera chooses to die NOW?!!! OF ALL WEEKS?!!!

Also my pet goat died. And while begging for a loaner for the next few weeks, I come home to discover my house decided to fall down on me. No....really.

And that's what you call a proper Friday the Thirteenth.
